Thanks again for all the pictures, and keep them coming! There never seem to be enough pictures when you are trying to figure out that one obscure detail you just can't seem to understand. Be sure to get some good ones of the front panel and how it fits and attaches to the compression chamber. I'm hoping all your pictures will lead me to what I did wrong with my SO.

Howdy paulc,

Your demand has been duly noted ..... and acted on .....

I was at Mike's workshop Saturday from about 2:00 PM until midnight. A lot was accomplished. All that remains is to install the braces and "fins" in the lower part of the enclosures, some trim pieces, mounting the drivers and binding posts (Cardas copper) and the staining (or whatever it is that Mike has planned for the finish) ..... ???

We took a good number of photos, but were too tired to upload them to my website. Mike is supposed to bring the camera to work tomorrow (Monday) and I will get the photos on the forum.

It's hard to believe how bulky and hard to move these things are at this point of construction ..... and heavy. We were moving one of the cabinets after the driver enclosure was mounted. It was positioned with the heavy side pointing upwards. We both had a grip on it ..... and Mike decided to let go to reach for something. It caught me off guard and my eyeballs nearly hit the back side of my eyeglasses .....

It was painful to leave the shop with the Imperials this close to being functional. Mike plans to work on them some more this week. I'm not sure if they will be completed by this coming weekend .... if not, I'll be at the HornFest May 5-7, so it still might be the second week of May before they are in my listening room.
